With Mike Bellamy suspended for the Orange Bowl, D.J. Howard will serve as Andre Ellington's backup.

With only 11 rushing yards in the ACC championship game, for which Bellamy was also suspended, Howard will likely only be used in a change-of-pace role behind starter Andre Ellington. He has 40 carries for 226 yards and one touchdown this season, including a season-high 86 yards against Auburn on Sept. 17. Rod McDowell will provide depth behind both Ellington and Howard.

Clemson’s D.J. Howard will start at running back at Georgia Tech in place of Andre Ellington.

An ankle injury has limited Ellington, the Tigers’ leading rusher, during practice this week. Howard is a freshman who has played in six of Clemson's eight games and is 25-167-1. He was 9-86 against Auburn in Sept. 17. Fri, Oct 28, 2011 11:15:00 AM
